Ireland versus Wales will be forever remembered for Neil Taylor's shocking tackle on Seamus Coleman. The air went out of the Aviva as the extent of the injury was immediately obvious.
For all of the sadness there was one truly touching moment where Shane Long comforted an agonised Coleman with a hug. When RTE chose not to show replays they also missed a touchingly real exchange between Seamus Coleman and Shane Long
